The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - COUNTS, Flight direction, SPECIES IDENTIFICATION, ANIMALS - GROUP - BEHAVIOR and WIND SPEED visual observation data collected in the North Pacific Ocean on the NEW HORIZON cruises NH0005 and NH0007 as part of the NEP project from 2000-05-30 to 2000-08-12 (NCEI Accession 0113338) |
| Abstract: | This dataset includes meteorological, visual observation and biological data collected aboard the NEW HORIZON during cruises NH0005 and NH0007 in the North Pacific Ocean from 2000-05-30 to 2000-08-12. These data include ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - COUNTS, Flight direction, SPECIES IDENTIFICATION, ANIMALS - GROUP - BEHAVIOR and WIND SPEED. The instruments used to collect these data include visual observation. These data were collected by Cynthia Tynan of Northwest Fisheries Science Center - Seattle and David G. Ainley of H.T. Harvey & Associates as part of NEP. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NODC on 2013-09-24. The following is the text of the abstract provided by BCO-DMO: GLOBEC NEP Northern California Current Bird Data R/V New Horizon cruises NH0005 and 0007 NOTES: (1) Please see companion file named 'metabirds' (http://globec.whoi.edu/jg/serv/globec/nep/metabirds.html0%7Bdir=globec.whoi.edu/jg/dir/globec/nep/,info=globec.whoi.edu/jg/info/globec/nep/metabirds%7D), which is supporting data for Bird Observations.

Physical and biological variables affecting seabird distributions during the upwelling season of the northern California Current. Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, Volume 52, Issues 1-2, January 2005, Pages 123-143 As a part of the GLOBEC-Northeast Pacific project, we investigated variation in the abundance of marine birds in the context of biological and physical habitat conditions in the northern portion of the California Current System (CCS) during cruises during the upwelling season 2000. Continuous surveys of seabirds were conducted simultaneously in June (onset of upwelling) and August (mature phase of upwelling). (3) Caution. Wind speed and direction may not be corrected for ship motion. (4) Additional documentation, in the form of references, was provided by Dr. Ainley. L.B. Spear, N. Nur & D.G. Ainley. 1992.
